Elected Democrats and party leaders from around the state also elected a group of five men and five women to represent Florida on the Democratic National Committee.

The only one from Broward or Palm Beach counties is Mitch Ceasar, chairman of the Broward Democratic Party, who was re-elected to the national committee, which has about 400 members from around the country.

In his first budget address to lawmakers, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf laid out an ambitious $33.8 billion spending plan that raises taxes a combined 16 percent while slashing corporate and property taxes, restores cuts to education and wipes out the state's deficit.
